Orgue de tribune de la cathédrale Saint-Pierre de Beauvais
Orgue de tribune de la cathédrale Saint-Pierre de Beauvais, Pipe organ in Beauvais Cathedral, France
The pipe organ stands against the western wall inside Saint-Pierre Cathedral, featuring two main sections with approximately 5,500 pipes organized in multiple towers and flat faces.
The cathedral chapter assembly decided to build this organ in July 1530, with brothers Alexandre and François des Oliviers responsible for its initial construction.
The instrument underwent several transformations through centuries, reflecting changes in French organ building techniques from medieval to modern periods.
The current organ contains seventy-seven stops distributed across four 56-note keyboards and a 32-note pedalboard, with electrical controls managing all connections.
Some pipes in this organ reach extraordinary dimensions, measuring 11.70 meters in length with a diameter of 40 centimeters.
